Unexpected and appreciated

Posiblogging, Uncategorized

Hi, How’s things? Hopefully good, and if not yet there; fingers crossed – oh and “may the odds be ever in your favour” 😉 A fair few things to report and quite a bit to be thankful for. Werking at work So my first pay cheque is due shortly. How nice! Not quite sure what the amount will be, but it’ll certainly help with the bills. Apparently I’m due a tax rebate as there’s been a mistake since my last employment. That’ll top things up nicely! 🙏 Better not say anything too loudly – or make any plans – as the Fates may have other plans for that: the unexpected expenses! 🙃 No one expects the unexpected expenses, etc… Well, […]

Paws, pins, and draws

Posiblogging, Uncategorized

Hi, Well, we’re out of January and I guess that makes us a little closer to spring. Perhaps the luxury of some blue skies, rather than the grey, and a break from the rain would be nice. Not much to report this week and perhaps – given the state of the world elsewhere – that’s a good thing. Paws In terms of the little things, the Orly treatment for my nails seems to be working well. Switching between the nourishing and the strengthener has meant they’re retaining their shine and a little bit of length. As I’ve said earlier, quite the luxury of affirmation. It’s not until now that the penny has dropped around just how much I see my […]

Seasonal

Hi, Well, that’s the first week of work in the bag. I’ll not go into the full details, however I will say two things. Firstly, I think the induction into the team was the best I’ve ever had. That and the organisation – or at least the core team I’m working with – has more women than men. Again, a good thing for someone like me, given I’m certainly not a macho type. Plus I’m working from home, so ‘office attire’ can be mixed and matched – provided the top half passes as masc 😉 Chams We had a spike of ‘guests visiting the forum’ over at Chams HQ. Not that any bots can see much; it’s all locked away […]

Hi, The difficult thing about writing a blog entry – and I should add, IMO 🙂 – is getting started. It seems to be an either/or of having nothing in the tank, or the overly full shopping bag that’s wobbling about on the backseat. Today seems very much the latter metaphor. If you just give me a mo, I’ll try to make it to the proverbial table, and bring matters to rest. Right, that’s that metaphor well and truly tortured 😉 Let’s get on with this week’s gibbering eh? 🙃 Nails At my last appointment to the beautician – yes, make your own jokes about they’ve got their work cut out or I hope they get paid by the hour […]

Little and big

Posiblogging, Uncategorized

Hi, I was thinking about ‘wins’ or luck, but I am now thinking Little & Big sounds like a hapless cartoon crime fighting duo. That or the illusive magical fashion store that stocks all the clothing, lingerie, and footwear for people who are definitely not in the ‘one size’ camp. Alternatively, it could be both, because life is odd. Ah, I see the coffee has kicked in and the ADHD Goblin has turned the creative whimsy dial up to eleven 🙃 To AI or not to AI? That is the question Given the above imaginary wanderings, you might be expecting a picture of a cute goblin. It’s true that I have been using AI to create those. Yes, I can […]

Weather the storm

Posiblogging, Uncategorized

Hi, According to Elmore Leonard and his Ten Rules of Writing, number one is “Never open a book with weather.” This is great advice and as I’ve started this week’s blog post by referencing Mr Leonard’s sage wisdom, I can now talk about the snow 😉 Chamsellation A bit of a – thankfully rare! – occurrence, in that we had to cancel the first Chams’ meeting of the year. I had kept an eye on the weather and pretty much not thought much about it. I mean, it’s not often we have a bad winter in the East Midlands … [ Weather gods, please do not take this as a provocation! 🙏] … so I was somewhat surprised to see […]
